Veteran safety campaigner Lee Lam Thye has urged that the welfare of police personnel and the force's assets be made a priority in Budget 2027. The budget allocates RM22 billion to the Ministry of Home Affairs, a sum he wants used to maximum effect. In his view, the money should first strengthen national security and make law enforcement more effective across the country. Welfare of Royal Malaysia Police members deserves attention too, covering the day-to-day conditions officers and their families live with. Assets matter just as much, since aging vehicles and equipment limit how quickly officers can respond. Lam Thye has spent years pressing authorities to turn budget figures into visible change on the ground. His remarks land while debate over the 2027 budget draws scrutiny to the Home Ministry's share. How much of the RM22 billion reaches frontline officers and their stations will be the measure many will use.
